An Oklahoma City woman spoke Saturday about what happened when her flight from New Orleans was diverted mid-air because of engine issues.

The woman, who was not identified in the story, told WDSU's sister station in Oklahoma City that she was headed to Disney World with her husband and three children Saturday morning when their Southwest Airlines flight took off from Louis Armstrong International Airport.

She said the plane began shaking and the oxygen masks fell. The woman sent KOCO 5 a photo she took with her child as the plane was having issues.

"I held my kids, and one was freaking out, crying. And so, we're trying to hold his hand, and singing and praying a lot," she said.

She said the pilots stabilized the plane and one of them spoke to the passengers about what had happened. The plane made an emergency landing in Pensacola, Florida, touching down safely without issues.

A Southwest Airlines spokesperson issued a statement about the incident. The company said the plane had a mechanical issue with one of engines, but it was unclear what caused it.

Officials said there were no injuries among the 99 passengers and five crew members who were on board. The passengers will be transferred to another plane.

The National Transportation Safety Board was notified. The Federal Aviation Administration said it will also investigate the incident.

"(The crew) stayed professional. They were amazing," the Oklahoma City woman said. "I mean, we couldn't have had a better crew, and it was thanks to that pilot that we're all alive."
